Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Disruption of PowerNazjatar · Level 50

    The naga are tapping into some latent power, infusing the energy into some manner of device. I do not know what purpose they have for this power, but it is surely in our interest to destroy the objects before they can be used against us.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • In DeepNazjatar · Level 50

    By now, King Greymane and Lady Proudmoore should be in the cave at which we are to meet. Let's not keep them waiting.
